haste is still good...

We didn't use Embrava for the regain effect, though it was really nice. We used it for the massive Haste boost coupled with high HP regen. Made it so you could easily cap magic haste out while ensuring you DD's kept alive (provided they weren't one shoted).
Embrava gets like a double slap.. duration+effect cut down...
devs should nerf effect like they planed (regain>refresh, Haste down to 25%) but keep the duration like it currently is. Or other way around, but not both!
The reason Embrava was this powerfull its cause of its long duration+powerfull buffs, so if you reduce the buffs, should atleast keep duration so it remains a usefull special ability. The current plans make it worthless.
Greetings!
As there has been a large amount of feedback and requests to make direct adjustments to end-game content, and there is also a concern that making changes to Powder Boots before seeing the results of content adjustments could cause separate issues to arise, the development team has decided that they will not be making adjustments to Powder Boots to enable all jobs to equip them in the next version update.
With that said, we will first be making adjustments to content, and based on what we see from that we will look into whether more content adjustments are needed, if Powder Boots should be changed after all, or if jobs need to be addressed.
Translation: We will nerf Embrava and have a look how badly you fail getting to 5x F80, in case we've made it too easy for you.
Personally I considered Powder Boots change a very sensible thing to do; it honestly surprised me a lot that the devs offered to do it. It's disheartening to see the middle finger approach to come back :(
I did plenty of old Nyzul back in the days especially in shouts. Sometimes you wiped, sometimes double Askar dropped and you tried again next day.
Now when you help out in random Nyzul shout and see normal people (normal players, not the Dragon's Aery sort) resorting to fleehack and change lamp numbers to stand a chance of winning, you know there is something very terribly wrong with this event. Please don't tell me it's only the player's fault.
I was hopeful for the direction of ffxi with a new director. After all this recent dev feedback...I am no longer hopeful.
